Cleaning Your Burner

Cleaning Your Wax Burner

Failure to keep your wax melt burner well maintained could lead to serious fire risks.

When your wax melt no longer has any fragrance left and you want to change it, here are some handy tips to clean your burner. 

If the wax has already set and is solid in the burner light a tealight underneath for 5-10 seconds, extinguish the tealight then place pressure on one side of the wax sliding it out of the burner. You can discard this wax once cool and wipe the remaining residue/ glitter with a cotton wool pad.

Alternatively, if the wax is melted and you notice the fragrance has gone, extinguish the tealight, wait for the wax to cool slightly whilst still in liquid form pop a cotton wool ball or two into the wax. This will absorb it and once it is cool you can discard. Again, wipe away any residue before adding a new fragrance.

Please keep the edges and outside of your burner free from wax and residue, inspect this before every use and clean regularly using hot soapy water. Please dry completely before using. Failure to dry your burner correctly may cause wax to spit, this could also lead to fire risks. 

Please dispose of your wax melts responsibly. Wax should be disposed of in line with your local authority. Do not dispose of wax into drains or sewers. Some fragrance oils used in the wax melts are also toxic to aquatic life. Wax that is discarded into the drainage/ sewage systems can have a very damaging environmental impact with long lasting effects. Wax can also be damaging to wildlife if ingested. 

Do not try and use any sharp tools or put excessive pressure on your burner to remove wax. This could damage your burner and make it unsafe to use.
